Oleo Sci. 69, (7) 693-701 (2020) Synthesis of Sucrose Fatty Acid Esters by Using Mixed Carboxylic-fatty Anhydrides Iteb Trabelsi, Kamel Essid＊ , and Mohamed Hedi Frikha Laboratory of Organic Chemistry LR17ES08: Faculty of sciences in Sfax, Route de Soukra Km 3,5 – BP 1171-3000. Sfax. TUNISIA Abstract: Fatty acid sugar esters are non-ionic surfactant active agents with excellent performance and many uses. This work is devoted to the synthesis of sugar esters by the esterification reaction of sugar with mixed carboxylicpalmitic anhydrides using resin Amberlyst-15 as heterogeneous acid catalyst. These anhydrides should be stable and react as acylating agents. Influence of different reaction parameters, such as the molar ratio (sucrose/anhydride), the type of solvent and the reaction time on the yield of the esterification reaction were studied. The esterification reaction of sucrose with mixed palmitic benzoic anhydride leads to a mixture of sucrose esters of palmitic acid with a good percentage of conversion. The mixed anhydride was both reactive and selective for the preparation of fatty acid ester. Key words: fatty acid, mixed anhydride, heterogeneous acid catalyst, resin Amberlyst-15, esterification, sucrose, acylation of sucrose, sucrose fatty acid esters (SEs) 1 Introduction mixed anhydrides have been often employed in order to Sucrose fatty acid esters（SEs）, commonly called sugar obtain a high yield of ester16）.

Surfactants are usually organic compounds that contain both hydrophobic 26 (fat-soluble) and hydrophilic (water-soluble) groups (Wikipedia, n. d.). SFAEs have sucrose residues as the 27 hydrophilic group and fatty acid residues as the lipophilic group. SOEs are manufactured from sucrose 28 (table sugar) and an octanoic acid ester commonly found in plants and animals. Sucrose esters, as a class of 29 related compounds, vary depending on the number and locations of esters attached to the sucrose 30 molecules. Sucrose has eight potential places where individual esters may attach (Montello Inc., n. d.).

  • Sucrose Esters in Gel-To-Milk Emulsion Concepts
    For know-how in sucrose ester techniques Sucrose esters in gel-to-milk emulsion concepts EXPERIENCE OUR EXPERTISE! Introduction Sisterna B.V.is a young and flexible organisation that is solely active in the promotion and sales of Sisterna® sucrose esters. Furthermore Sisterna has developed countless proven and innovative applications of these natural and multifunctional emulsifiers for the cosmetic industry. Sisterna® sucrose esters are based on sucrose and vegetable fatty acids and are a unique range of high quality, non-ionic emulsifiers with an exceptional performance and mildness to skin and eyes. Besides emulsification Sisterna® sucrose esters can offer other unique benefits to personal care formulations. Sisterna has developed various interesting emulsion concepts, such as a gel-to-milk concept, the subject of this paper. Sisterna’s exclusive distributor network ensures the availability and technological knowhow of sucrose esters in personal care applications in the Western Hemisphere. 2 Summary Sisterna® sucrose esters with a high HLB are very suitable emulsifiers for the development of natural 'oil gels' that turn into milk when diluted upon use. These 'oil gels' are in fact concentrated oil-in-glycerin (O/G) emulsions that can be produced by using standard high shear homogenising equipment. Very narrow oil droplet size emulsions with average oil droplet sizes of 300 - 500 micron are obtained. By using just 2% of one single high HLB sucrose ester, preferably sucrose palmitate, it is already possible to produce a gel-to-milk concept containing 60% of oil. Such a concept is very suitable for make-up cleansing. The high oil content will allow to remove all impurities.

Received: 7 December 2012; in revised form: 28 December2012 / Accepted: 31 December 2012 / Published: 9 January 2013 Abstract: The effects of selected nonionic emulsifiers on the physicochemical characteristics of astaxanthin nanodispersions produced by an emulsification/evaporation technique were studied. The emulsifiers used were polysorbates (Polysorbate 20, Polysorbate 40, Polysorbate 60 and Polysorbate 80) and sucrose esters of fatty acids (sucrose laurate, palmitate, stearate and oleate). The mean particle diameters of the nanodispersions ranged from 70 nm to 150 nm, depending on the emulsifier used. In the prepared nanodispersions, the astaxanthin particle diameter decreased with increasing emulsifier hydrophilicity and decreasing carbon number of the fatty acid in the emulsifier structure. Astaxanthin nanodispersions with the smallest particle diameters were produced with Polysorbate 20 and sucrose laurate among the polysorbates and the sucrose esters, respectively. We also found that the Polysorbate 80- and sucrose oleate-stabilized nanodispersions had the highest astaxanthin losses (i.e., the lowest astaxanthin contents in the final products) among the nanodispersions.

Riaz Khan Philip Lyle Memorial Research Laboratory, Tate & Lyle PLC, Whiteknights P.O. Box 68, Reading, England Abstract —Somerecent work on selective reactions of sucrose is described. These reactions reveal a profile of chemical reactivity which has been exploited to produce a number of products of commercial significance. The potential of sucrose as a raw material for chemicals and energy is also indicated. INTRODUCTION The world economy is critically dependent upon oil which is a non—regenerable material. In order to maintain an economic order in the world it is therefore imperative that the future energy and chemical needs are secured. In the short—term we must curb on wasteful consumption of oil and in the long—term dependence on oil must be reduced. Alternative resources such as coal, tarsands, shale oil, natural gas and lignite, agricultural and aquatic materials must be considered as sources of energy and chemicals. The potential of carbohydrates as feedstocks for chemicals has been demonstrated, but not yet significantly commercially realised except in a few instances. Although cellulose is the most abundant carbohydrate, several technical difficulties in its processing makes it economically unattractive as a raw material for energy and chemicals. In contrast sucrose and starch are readily amenable to chemical and biochemical modifications giving a range of compounds presently derived through petrochemical routes, as well as new derivatives of potential commercial significance.

Sucrose esters, with three or less substituted OH groups with fatty acids, are suitable as surfactants and nutritional supplements due to their emulsification, stabilizing and conditioning properties. The main problem with the synthesis of sucrose esters relates to the high functionality of the sucrose molecule - eight hydroxyl groups that compete during the synthesis and lead to the formation of mixtures of monoesters, diesters and even higher esters. Transesterification can be oriented to a specific substitution model by carefully selecting the reaction conditions. Therefore, the focus of this study was to clarify the effects of the sucrose to fatty acid molar ratio, catalyst and reaction temperature on the rate of sucrose ester formation in a specific substitution mode (monoesters). Keywords: sucrose, transesterification, ultrasound synthesis, sucrose esters.
